During a floor debate, members of a legislative body discuss and argue the merits of a proposed bill or resolution. Each member typically has a set amount of time to express their views, propose amendments, or respond to opposing arguments. The debate allows representatives to present their positions and persuade their colleagues before a vote is taken. Ultimately, the outcome of the debate influences whether the legislation moves forward or is rejected.
"Floor consideration" can be considered synonymous with "debate" or "discussion on the floor."
